  • If you have power windows and locks, you could swap to manual to save some weight
  • Fiberglass hood
  • Completely gut the interior
  • Buy an aluminum front bumper support
  • Take out fog lights
  • Replace glass headlight lenses with plastic
  • Aluminum driveshaft
  • Tubular k-member and a-arms
  • Take out the passenger seat
There is a huge thread on the site somewhere about this exact topic. Try doing a search.
